The HSE Area Finder was designed to support healthcare professionals by providing the points of contact in primary care and community services for a person according to their home address eircode. If you are unsure which CDNT covers your area, you can input your address, and it will give the email point of contact for the CDNT covering your home area.

What are CHOs?

CHOs refer to how community healthcare services have been grouped together across the country. Community healthcare services include Primary Care (for example, your GP or local health centre), Children's Disability Network Teams (CDNTs), and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). There are nine CHO areas.
